Well I have Linux installed, but now I'm having problems getting an internet connection. So far I've tried two different methods, LinuxConfig and command prompt. My Linux box connects to a router and that router connects to the WAN(internet/outside world). I don't think that I have my ethernet card loaded right because I can't even ping or pull up my router info using it's IP Address. I know that this is a vague start, but it figure it'd be easier to start here and if you have ideas ask me questions to help narrow it down to what the problem might be rather than write down tons of tech specs that might not be needed.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I did 'ifconfig' and it returns a hardware address for 'eth0', so I know that the system sees my card.
EDIT2: I've been roaming google groups/usenet for pointers, and I've also tried the following from them:
but when I type in 'netcfg' it tells me that there is no such process and that the network is unreachable.as root open /etc/conf.modules with a text editor (gnp or gedit/kedit).
add the following line anywhere:
alias eth0 ne(I've also tried 'alias eth0 rtl8139')
save the file. now in the console type:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 up
if this works, then it's fine....use netcfg to make it permanent.
